BURNED TO 0sATH.

An EIghty-Year-OId Lady Goes to Bed
With Pipe, and Dies Shortly After.
CINCINNATI, March 2J.-Mrs. Nancy Cor
coran, widow eighty years of age, living
with her daughter, Rose Delehanty, at 80
Concord street, Walnut Hills, met with an
accident yesterday afternoon which caused
her death few hours later The old lady
had been accustomed to smoking tobacco in
clay pipe, and would frequently lie down in
bed for nap with lighted pipe in her hand.
Yesterday afternoon she lay down for her
customary nap in the rear room on the sec
opd floor, and carelessly laid the pipe on the
bedclothing beside her. The occupants of
the first floor were soon aroused by a loud
smell of burning clothing, and rushing to the
old lady's room, found her enveloped in
flames. Engine company No. 16, was sum
moned and the fire extinguished before much
damage had been done to property Mrs.
Corcoran, however, was found to be badly
burned about the face, body and arms.
Dr. Evans, Of Mcmillan street, was sum-
moned, and after an examination expressed
it as his opinion that the injured lady, owing
to her advanced age could not recover. She
had inhaled the flames, and fingered until
half-past o'clock last evening, when death
came to her relief The coroner was not-
fed and will hold an inquest although no
blame is to be attached to any person, the
affair being the result Of the victims care
lessness. Only a few days ago Mrs. Cor
coran's clothing was ignited in the same
manner but the flames were extinguished
before she had been injured. Since that time
q close watch had been kept on her, but in
spite of this the accident happened, resulting
in her death

of the Territory, in advancing and protecting her interests.
 While Arizona has ialIeil on the the list of mineral producing com- tries she has made wonderful strides in stock growing industries to such ai extent that to-day her principal wealth is no doubt in stock.
 Mineral is scarcely as stable an article as beef. which is only sur passed by the cereals on the list Of brcadstuffs. With q decline in mineral she has become wealthy in stock, anI all of this from the fact that the greater portion of her vast domain is particularly and al- most solely adapted to stock grow ing, and of little or no use at all for other purposes. Thus should the interests of this growing indus try be realized and studied, and we are glad 10 note the interest taken in this matter by Governor Zulick in endeavoring to prevent the i'm pOrtatIon of malignant and infec- tious diseases upon our ranges. When we realize that nearly 90 per per cent of the taxes of Apache county are paid by stock growers, We can well consider the inlpor- tance of this industry, and the sad havoc which would result from an epidemic of pleuro-pneumonia. The interest manifested in this matter by Gov. Zulick will certain ly recommend him very highly to all stock growers.

Holbrook is again 10 the front q party there has tried to effect d compromise with the Mormons oi St. Johns and vicinity over the county seat and the splitting of the county, the object being if the Nor mons would vote to have the coun- ty seat removed to Holbrook, this party would use his influence to swamp the scheme for the division of the county.

Then We have several large cattle companies within our proposed limits, and we intend to tax them for their land at the valuation of $5 per acre, and at the rate of $40 per head for their cattle.
 Our merchants We intend to force to take account of stock at their selling price within ten days Of tine time for assessment, and they will then be assessed by the showing then and there made.
 There will, of necessity, have to be an inspector appointed; and. perhaps, several inspectors, to see that the merchants give Us a square deal. These men will receive about $1O a day, and will be pai,; by the merchant, and not tie county.
 Ali this, you viii say, is going to be mighty hard ou the people and 1 don't doubt but it wili-but We oflicc-seellers don't pay much tax anyway. We have mighty little property to tax, and if We can get q chance at the public funds, we will be satisfied.
 Please don'twrite quite so strong on tine subject of taxes in your edi- torials, it might get some of the heaviest taxpayers over here scared and they might use their influence against this departure. If you will only wait until we get the bill through the legislature, you can pitch into us then just as hard as you wish.
 Another reason why we want q division is, because we want Hol- breok made county seat. We have been playing for that for two years, and it's about time we brought it abont.
 You see we use this as a kind of pry on the property holders here ]; We tell them that when Holbrook is made a county seat property will advance in value two hundred per cent; but we don't tell them that We will tax them pretty big on this advance.
 We are working the matter very quiet and very secretly, and we don't give anything awar, only in so far as it will advance our cause, and our whole heart and soul Is in the matter. Our whole life now depends on the action of the legis- lature now in session, and we will soon know whether We will be liv- ing on fat salary in short time, provided by an ovcr-taxed people, or whether we will be doomed to live on two meals week and bum our whiskey, as of yore,
 
 Yours in big hopes,

WE believe division of counties and removal of county seats with in territories to be in strict viola ton of the late Congressional act. With this to start with, 1t is d pity the representatives of Apache coun- ty do not asslst in legislating laws which are necessary and essential to the welfare of the people. The people do not want sixty days fooled away over making new coun- ties and removing county seats
 they want something which is go- ing to lessen the burden of taxes, and a protection for their property.

Good Reasons for Dividing the County
HoLDRoOK, Feb, 1, 1887.


 EDITOR UERALD-Thc subject that seems to be troubling the minds of the people of Apache county at the present time, seems t0 be the division of the county into two separate and distinct gov ernmcnts and we people down here are bound to bring this thing about regardless of cost and con- sequences.
 There are always three sides to every question. First, the reason able. Second, the plausible. Third, the damnable. Ali three of these sides, have been pretty well repre- sented in the county press, and tol- crably well discussed in public places, but 1 don't think you eX- actly understand why we are so anxious to accomplish this divi- sion, so 1 will try and explain the matter a little more clearly, and it may be you wont be so hard Oh Us in the future.
 You are, perhaps, aware that we are town whose population is made up largely of hungry politi- clans and chronic oliice-seekers. and you are also knowing to the fact tllat few of us failed to con meet at the last county convention. The fact is there is an ovcrplus of men down here, who are capable of filling and discharging the duties of any office, from the President of this great Republic down to pound keeper, and we are mighty anxious to see these men get some kind of d show; and if we can onl ly get the county divided, we can have all the offices to distribute among the boys and make them happy. Even then we would be a little short of offices l am almost certain we would be obliged to institute a few new of fees, with some kind of a living salary attached, so as to stop ali growing and dissatisfaction. For instance, we could appoint some one of our worthics as official street sweeper, at salary of $50 per month, and allow him two deputies each to be paid $75.
 Then the Board of Supervisors, which We will have, may consider it necessary to deprive Us of the privilege of keeping more than two dogs to the man and in that case, it will require the services of an intelligent official to see that it be carried out. 4 good salary must, of necessity, accompany each of these offices, otherwise 1t would be difficult to obtain the services of men with the proper scope of intel ligesce.
 You say in some of your cdito- rials that our taxes will be twice as much as they are now, and will admit that to be true; but l can make that clear to you after little explanation. You see we have got about fifty miles of railroad, and we intend to make the Company pay at valuation of $i0,000 per mile; that will be just the same as though We had a hundred miles of roa,l..

"PREscoTTITE," nee Holbrookite, writing in last week $ Critic does not speak very highly of the Four tecnth Legislative Assembly when he says it's members are moved about as pegs, from place to place by the Governor.

 to find a whet-stone, or whether he was simply suffering from the de- feat of premature politician, or from the effects or literary vertigo. If the Governor places them as pegs, he will place them right, and

sieged by petitions for notifications in

Court at FL Paso, Texas, granted a
petition Of the receivers of the Texas
Pacific Road, TO suspend the law where
it restricts the road from making lower
rates for the Mexican trade. On the
18th the Commission received peti
ton from the American Sugar Refinery,

immediate effect Of the fourth section
of the law, unless modified, would be
to entirely destroy the business of dis

company plead the 100000 invested

and opportunities offered by the over

willing to continue the old rates
the petitioners ask that they be per-
mitted to do so. Fourteen rein

be heard in opposition to an anticipated
request of the Pacific roads to be re-

roads have been carrying sugar at $40

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The war between the rehneries in
San Francisco is getting hotter. A cut
of an eighth of cent was made by the
California on the I4th inst. This was
met by asweeping reduction made by
the American on its previously pub
lished list Then the California clip
ped off quarter cent on all white
grades. According to San Francisco
market report, there would be heavy
loss on both sides from this competi-
ton, except that the refneries are only
selling to regular customers for home
consumption. Sugar that would cost
seven cents pound to lay down in
San Francisco from New York is sell
ing in the former market at FIVE cents.
The report referred to says It pays
better now to ship the raw sugar to
New York. "For one Of the vessels
recently chartered by the American
Refinery $3.50 per ton freight was
paid, and the last one was secured at
$s7s." By the news in. another col
umn it will be seen that the Eastern
refneries are uniting for their own
interests in defense Of the Interstate
Commerce Act.
